About Me

I am lucky enough to work from home indulging my passion for vintage & antique textiles, haberdashery & other paraphernalia that I just can't live without. I am partial to chippy paintwork, faded photographs & reading cards & letters that have long ago lost their owners. I realise that I will never make my fortune doing what I love, but the pleasure I get from hand~making something completely unique is reward enough. Working with treasures in the form of textiles, buttons, beads & trims is a privilege and I strive every day to learn more about their past.

I don't think any of us were anticipating the number of visitors that found their way to our village hall in the Cotswolds countryside, but I am so grateful that they did ~ a big thank you to each an every one of you that came and supported us and made purchases!

The venue was a picture of vintage loveliness ~ every which way you turned was a fresh display of unique goodies from the past mixed in with beautiful hand~made treasures from our talented stallholders. Truly amazing...

Lavinia's Tea Party will be creating a vintage style tea room offering homemade cakes and sandwiches, served on the prettiest vintage china and weather permitting all set up outside overlooking the most glorious Cotswolds landscape.

Doors open at 10.00am and entry is £1.00. If you happen to have a copy of the August issue of Homes & Antiques magazine, we have a special offer on their events listing page which means free entry ~ just bring the page with you!

Toddington Village Hall, Stow Road, Toddington, Glos GL54 5DU.
